What is the primary testing program used for Navy enlistment?

This item focuses on the testing program used to determine Navy enlistment eligibility. The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, ASVAB, is the standardized assessment the Navy uses to gauge a recruit’s abilities across several areas and to produce the AFQT score, which decides whether you can enlist and which Navy ratings you qualify for. It measures verbal, mathematical, science, and technical reasoning, and the AFQT score pulls from four subtests to determine overall eligibility. By contrast, college admission tests like the SAT and ACT are intended for entry into civilian colleges, not military enlistment, and the GED is a high school equivalency credential, not the Navy’s enlistment-screening tool. So the ASVAB is the primary testing program used for Navy enlistment.
